INJURY REPORT TEMPLATE FAQ


What is an injury report?

An injury report is a written record of an incident in which a person is hurt or shows signs of injury. It typically includes when and where the incident occurred, what the person was doing at the time, how the injury happened, which body parts were affected, what care was provided, and who was informed.


Who should complete an injury report?

An injury report is usually completed by the person who was injured (if able) or by a responsible adult who witnessed or responded to the incident — such as a supervisor, teacher, coach, safety officer, or manager. In some organizations a second person, such as HR or an administrator, reviews and signs the report.


When should an injury report be filled out?

It is generally best to complete an injury report as soon as reasonably possible after the incident — preferably the same day — while details are still fresh. Many workplaces, schools, and programs require a written report for any incident that causes injury or could reasonably have caused injury, even if it seems minor at first.


What information should be included in an injury report?

A helpful injury report usually includes: basic information about the injured person; date, time, and location of the incident; a factual description of what happened; body parts injured and type of injury; visible signs and reported symptoms; first aid or medical care provided; witness information; notifications made to supervisors, parents, or HR; and any initial follow-up or safety actions.


Can this injury report template be used for workplace, school, sports, or accident cases?

Yes. This Injury Report Template is designed to be flexible and can be adapted for workplaces, schools and childcare settings, sports and recreation programs, customer or visitor incidents, and motor vehicle or DUI-related crashes. You can modify section titles and questions to match your organization’s policies or regulatory requirements.


Can AI Lawyer help me customize my injury report?

Yes. AI Lawyer can help you adjust the wording, layout, and sections of this Injury Report Template to fit your organization, industry, or jurisdiction. You still need to follow your own policies and any applicable laws or regulations, and provide accurate facts for each incident. This template and any AI-generated content are for general information and document organization only and are not legal, medical, or safety advice.
